Welcome to Taizé worship at WiNK. Please make yourself comfortable to pray, either sitting on a chair or the floor. We ask you to enter and leave the chapel in silence so that others may pray without interruption.

Central to Taizé worship is a focus on meditative singing. The words to the songs are generally few and simple so that when repeated many times over the music can be a way of both praying to and listening for God. Let the meditative repetition allow you to move beyond reading the words or enjoying the music to create a space to pray through song.

A n n o u n c e m e n t sWiNK Greeters and ReadersCalling all worshipers!

Taizé is a small village in France but the name has become synonymous with a particular style of Christian worship.

Members of the community initially took in children orphaned by World War II and displaced Jews. These days the community
